Valleywise Prop 409 seeks approval on Election Day in Arizona
Nov. 5
On Election Day, held Tuesday, Nov. 4, voters in Maricopa County had the opportunity to vote on a $898 million bond proposal, Proposition 409. Valleywise Health had asked voters to approve the proposal to expand access to vital care across Maricopa County. The proposed bond was approved unanimously by the Maricopa County Special Health Care District Board of Directors on April 24, 2025.
If Prop 409 passes, it will authorize the county to use property taxes to obtain $898 million in bonds for Valleywise Health, the county-owned hospital chain. Valleywise, which is Phoenix’s largest provider of inpatient behavioral health care, plans to use the money to upgrade current facilities and build new ones.
Steve Purves, President & CEO, Valleywise, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more on the Prop 409 after election day in Arizona.
